Set up the VM-Series Firewall on Azure

VM-Series firewall on Azure brings the security features of Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) as a virtual machine in the Azure Marketplace. The VM-Series firewall provides a complete set of security functionality to ensure that your virtual machine workloads and data are protected, and the capabilities that the firewall enables are different from native security features such as Security Groups, web application firewalls and native, port-based firewalls.

On Azure, the VM-Series firewall is available in the bring your own license (BYOL) model or in the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) hourly model. Microsoft Azure allows you to deploy the firewall to secure your workloads within the virtual network in the cloud, so that you can deploy a public cloud solution or you can extend the on-premises IT infrastructure to create a hybrid solution.
